Servers and Clients
• Server = program/machine that accepts and fulfills requests over a network
• Client = program (usually with UI) that translates user request into server request & displays received data
• “conversation” follows a protocol (rules for how you ask for things and how you interpret what you get)
Examples
• Safari, Firefox, Chrome are web clients• Apache is web server software• Mills has a web server machine that runs this
software (or some other)• HTTP is the protocol they use to converse
Feeds -- RSS
• RSS=really simple syndication• “syndicate” ~ distribute• “feed” = server that can be “followed”• User gives URI of feed to “reader” or
“aggregator”• Reader checks regularly for updates
